If I told you I loved you
What would you say?
Would you simply dismiss it
Or would it make your day?

If I told you I cared
Would it mean anything?
Would it fail to register
Just too unbeliving.

If I told you I worried
What would you think?
Is this woman crazy?
Would you even blink?

If I asked you to dance
Would you twirl me away?
Without hesitation,
Or with too much dismay.

If I asked for your hand
Would you gladly surrender
Or would you tell me to wait
So the world won't remember

If I told you I missed you
Would pay me heed
Or would you just laugh
And choose not to believe.

But does it really matter
For I'll never tell.
Just how I feel
It's locked up in a cell.

So you'll be my friend
No more, no less.
But forever you'll be
Simply the best.
